This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head. All opinions are 100% mine. I have two new obsessions. Shortbread everything and marshmallow everything. Not that these are really all that new, but I tend to go through phases where I go ballistic with making recipes with some key ingredients that…

Brandy Snaps with Honey Whipped Cream
The most wonderful time of year. Holiday baking season! — I don’t normally jump onto the winter holiday train so quickly, but I think there is a bit of wiggle room when it comes to baking. I’m definately judging you for putting up that tree before Thanksgiving has passed, but it is perfectly acceptable to…
Simple Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart + Sugared Raspberries
A classic tart is one of the top 10 desserts that you should have in your back pocket notepad o’ recipes. It’s my go-to for impromptu dinner parties or events that I was asked to bring dessert for weeks ago and completely forgot about until the day of. When you run a blog called Southern…
Maple Pecan Brittle
Stacks and stacks of crunchy caramelized sugar, packed full of pecans, walnuts, cherries, apple bits, all glazed with maple syrup and cinnamon. I’m pretty sure that I could just drop the blogger mic and be done. Brittle is one of those things that I think about all year long, but really only usually enjoy during…
Blackberry Roasted Plum Preserves
A couple posts back, I made some delicious Plum Glazed Cake Donuts. What you didn’t see was that I was left with a ridiculous amount of plums. I kept procrastinating on what else I could try and make with them. I mean…. I blame Pokémon, really. After a week or so of waiting around, I…
Limoncello Candied Lemon Zest
I’m a total citrus addict. I was (and still am) that kid that would pound Starburst like it was my job. I’d pick citrus sweets over chocolate any day (sorry ’bout it, choc-o-holics).Not much has changed since the days of obsessively eating Skittles and Fruit Stripe gum. Moving forward a few years, I found myself sitting…
Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodle Cookies
During all of this holiday madness (baking, eating, baking, eating, eating, eating), cookies sometime get a bad wrap. Super-simple, sure. But sometimes they just are under appreciated at the holiday parties. We’re going to fix that today. Caramel Stuffed (you heard me!) Snickerdoodle Cookies for the win.
Party with Coca-Cola Cinnamon Sugar Donuts + Bottle Gift
It’s Christmas time, y’all! Time to bake more cookies than you know what to do with, mix a few batches of eggnog, throw some killer parties in hopes that your friends will bring you alllll of the gifts! Some of the best memories of the entire year are made right at the end during the…
German Roasted Candied Pecans
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Chag Sameach! FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! [I feel like German should always be screamed, ja?] — Also, keep reading for my pre-Thanksgiving Christmas content disclosure. Hopefully y’all know what these beauties are just by seeing that cone. I was walking around the touristy Opry mall this past weekend here in Nashville, and hit the wall-o-roasted-German-nuts smell…
Caramel Apple Pops
I can remember being in middle school (just a few years ago, ya know…), back when they used to allow kids to buy Pop Tarts as lunch items, have assemblies to show a yo-yo performer that wanted to sell you the world’s best yo-yo (Yes, I bought two.), and candy was sold for a quarter…
